IN MEMORIAM

Rachel Clock was born September 8, 1841, in Genessee County, New York, and died 
at her home in Bushnell Township, Montcalm, Co., Michigan, April 14, 1920, aged 
78 years, 5 months and 8 days.

At two years of age she moved with her parents to Wheatland Township, Hillsdale 
Co., Michigan, where she remained eleven years. In 1854 she came to Bloomer 
Township and resided with her parents until her marriage with Joseph L. Clock, 
September 26, 1851.

Since that time she has resided at their pioneer home in Bushnell Township. Mrs. 
Clock was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church. During her later years she 
was a great sufferer and throughout her last sickness was very patient, 
reconciled to the will of God, dying in the triumphs of living faith.

She leaves to mourn their loss a daughter, Mrs. Dora May Loree of Vickeryville, 
a son, Alfred L., of Alberta, Canada, two sisters, Mrs. Caroline Smith of 
Bellaire, Mich. and Mrs. Martha Birdsall of Riverdale, the grandchildren and a 
host of friends.

Rev. Geo. Brown officiated at the funeral and she was laid to rest by the side 
of her husband who preceded her seven years ago. The son was unable to be here 
on account of delay of the message sent him.

Those who came from away were Mrs. Caroline Smith and daughter, Mrs. Estella Ash 
of Bellaire, Mr. and Mr. S. W. Birdsall and Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Birdsall of 
Riverdale, Mrs. Cornelia Cady of Detroit, Dr. Maurice Loree of Akron, Ohio, Mr.
